Expose the OSPM Nominal Performance register (ACPI 6.6, Section 8.4.6.1.2.6), which conveys the desired nominal performance level at which the platform may run. Unlike the existing read-only Nominal Performance register, it is writable and lets OSPM request a lower nominal level than the platform-reported nominal. The platform classifies performance above this level as boosted and below as throttled for its power/thermal decisions. It is exposed as a per-policy cpufreq sysfs attribute in kHz, to match the cpufreq sysfs unit convention: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policyN/ospm_nominal_freq The attribute is documented in Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-system-cpu. Writes are converted to perf via cppc_khz_to_perf(), validated against [Lowest Performance, Nominal Performance], and applied to every CPU in policy->cpus. On read, the current register value is returned, or "<unsupported>" if the platform does not implement the register. Signed-off-by: Sumit Gupta <[email protected]> --- Patch 1 of the v4 series ("ACPI: CPPC: Add support for CPPC v4") is already applied, so this contains only patch 2. Changes in v5: - Add cppc_get_ospm_nominal_perf() to read the register directly. - Drop the cppc_cpudata cache variables ospm_nominal_perf/_set. - Show_ospm_nominal_freq() returns register value or "<unsupported>". - Register rollback reads the register too. - Move range check into the sysfs store from cppc_set_ospm_nominal_perf() - ABI doc: update read description and add a task-migration note. v4: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]/ v3: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]/ v2: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]/ v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]/ .../ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-system-cpu | 26 ++++++++ drivers/acpi/cppc_acpi.c | 32 +++++++++ drivers/cpufreq/cppc_cpufreq.c | 65 +++++++++++++++++++ include/acpi/cppc_acpi.h | 10 +++ 4 files changed, 133 insertions(+) diff --git a/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-system-cpu b/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-system-cpu index 82d10d556cc8..a8d592c08823 100644 --- a/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-system-cpu +++ b/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-system-cpu @@ -346,6 +346,32 @@ Description: Performance Limited This file is only present if the cppc-cpufreq driver is in use. +What: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/cpufreq/ospm_nominal_freq +Date: May 2026 +Contact: [email protected] +Description: OSPM Nominal Performance (kHz) + + OSPM uses this attribute to request a nominal performance + level lower than the platform-reported nominal.
